frequently in the daily lives of people of Ecuador. The potatoes can often be found in the common dish of Locro a chowder that many Ecuadorian people like to eat (Ecuadortravel.org). Seafood is also popular throughout Ecuador. The signature dish that is famous in Ecuador is ceviche. Ceviche is a dish that contains fish, shrimp and tomatoes, peppers with cilantro
(Ecuadortravel.org). This is all cooked in lime juice and eaten with the odd combination of popcorn (Ecuadortravel.org). In Ecuador popcorn is obviously not just for the movie theatres in Ecuador. Ecuador isn’t known for its tea so they import a lot of it (Ecuadortravel.org). If you go to a café you can get a very good cup of tea. Even if you aren’t in a café tea is often served at all meals.
